VIII. OBSERVATIONS: <br /> Pam Violett and I arrived at Silgan Containers Corporation <br /> at approximately 10: 00 a.m. We identified ourselves at the <br /> front desk and requested to speak to the individual in <br /> charge of the hazardous waste management. We were <br /> introduced to David Rex, Superintendent for Silgan <br /> Corporation. We were shortly joined by Jim Chipponeri, <br /> Coater Coil Supervisor. We explained to Mr. Rex and Mr. <br /> Chipponeri the purpose of our inspection. Mr. Rex gave us <br /> consent to perform the inspection. <br /> We began our inspection in the flammable storage building <br /> where the hazardous waste is stored. In this building, I <br /> observed one drum labeled as hazardous waste containing <br /> resin compounds - pigments 1% - 5%, that had an <br /> accumulation date (6/31/91) that exceeded the 90 day <br /> storage time period, 6 overpack drums of hazardous waste <br /> that contained water 90% - 100%, M.E.K. 0% - 5%, Mineral <br /> Spirits 0% - 10%, Butylcello solve 0% - 5%, Magndraw <67, <br /> 0% - 5%, all of which lacked accumulation dates and two <br /> drums of waste oil/water that did not have labels. <br /> Mrs. Violett and I were then led to building #5 where <br /> enamel coating is applied to the body blanks. In this <br /> building, air compressors are maintained to power some of <br /> the equipment used to manufacture the cans. Next to the <br /> air compressor there is a satellite accumulation storage <br /> area where an oil waste is generated from the maintenance <br /> of the air compressor. In this area, I observed a drum of <br /> hazardous waste labeled as "oil, 70%-80%" , that had an <br /> accumulation date that exceeded the 90 day storage period. <br /> We then proceeded to Building 11 where the machine shop is <br /> located. In this building is another satellite <br /> accumulation storage area where an oil waste is generated <br /> from the maintenance of the compressor. In this area, I <br /> observed a drum of hazardous waste labeled as "oil 70% - <br /> 80%" that had an accumulation date that exceeded the 90 day <br /> storage period. This concluded our facility tour. <br /> Mrs. Violett and I went back to the main office to review <br /> documents including hazardous waste manifests, contingency <br /> plans, training records, etc. After reviewing the <br /> hazardous waste manifests, it was determined that a total <br /> of 79 tons of hazardous waste was disposed of in 1990 and <br /> 79 . 8 in 1991. <br /> I noticed that land disposal restriction notification forms <br /> were lacking for several manifests, including #89894738 (an <br /> F listed waste) . <br /> 4 <br />
